Inclusive Leadership

Practical steps for cultivating inclusive workplaces.

Enjoy a Sneak Peek of Chapter 1, above, where Vernā introduces the Inclusive Leadership training course.

Our work as leaders is to create environments where diversity can thrive. Inclusive Leaders create environments where people of all backgrounds feel respected, can contribute their talent and perspectives, and are given fair access to meaningful opportunity. Most of us think of ourselves as kind, fair, and well-meaning, and we are, but being well-meaning is not enough when it comes to being an Inclusive Leader. The purpose of this video – which contains short lectures and thought-provoking scenarios – is to deepen leaders’ understanding of the complexities of leading a diverse team, the challenges involved in creating a truly inclusive organizational culture, and to learn skills and strategies for success as an Inclusive Leader.
